The co-founder of OceanGate is planning a trip to one of the world’s deepest sinkholes.

Guillermo Söhnlein is set to lead an exploration into “Dean’s Blue Hole - an unexplored sinkhole that goes as far down as 663 feet located in the Bahamas.

Blue Marble Exploration, founded by Söhnlein after he left OceanGate, will offer the first submersible to reach the bottom of the sinkhole, where they’re set to operate “in complete darkness.”

The trip lists a number of challenges:

“‘What Lurks Beneath.’ Locals believe that Dean’s is a portal to hell and the Devil himself lurks in the black depths. Each year, several people drown in Dean’s due to a variety of misfortunes. We fully expect to find human remains and prepare to handle those situations with proper respect for the families.”

"Off The Beaten Path—Long Island"

Once your toes caress the powder-white sand of Long Island, there is no turning back; you would surely want to inhale every awesome wonder she breathes. Long Island—a skinny, “long” island somewhat resembling a bird in flight— lies nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Bahama Bank. She is a jewel in the crown of islands we call home, The Bahamas.

Upon your arrival to this quaint island, you will notice a place of tranquility—almost as if you are on another universal plane. Maybe it’s the “vibe”, given the Tropic of Cancer passes directly through Long Island. Secluded beaches stretch along the coastlines for miles, and there are many, so take your pick. Tuck away in a cove along the rolling cliffs and hills trailing the ocean shore, or swim in the gin-clear waters on the leeward side of the island.

There are so many treasures to behold and adventures to be had while on Long Island, from dramatic views to historical and archaeological sites, deep-sea diving, snorkeling, swimming with the pigs, fishing, beaching, off-roading and more. It’s the perfect place to make your own fun! You are free to explore and live a little—heck, live a lot!

The best experience I can personally vouch for is…the food. Yes, the food! There is a hidden culinary explosion happening here and it is absolutely mouthwatering. Of course, the food I’m talking about is not found in the fancy restaurants here on Long Island; they are found a little tucked away, off the beaten path. The tiny “bars and grills”, “stalls” far out of the city and even the “pop-up bar and food tikis”. No matter what food venue you choose or “tour de Long Island” menu you decide to experience, the food is simply delectable.

Long Island is the place where you head “up” south and go “down” north. No matter which way you go, make sure to see it to the very end, in both directions. For certain, don’t miss out on all that is in between the two most traversed and famous parts of the island, which are “north end” and “south end”. It’s most definitely a Long Island bucket list thing.

The north end of Long Island is famously known for the place where Christopher Columbus landed during his voyages to the “new world”. During that time, Long Island was called “Yuma” by the aboriginal people of The Bahamas, known as the Arawak Indians. Long Island’s south end had an extraordinary historical find when ceremonial stools—the Arawak name for which is “duhos”—were discovered in a cave at Mortimers by Carlon Cartwright, an island local. Most recently, another discovery was unearthed by Dr. Michael Pateman (AMMC) and Nicholas Constantakis, further documenting the Arawaks’ cultural footprints.

These gentle people left a sea of culinary culture behind, which has been transferred into some of the “traditional” dishes we know of today—like the down-home yumminess of peas soup, grilled conch, roasted fish and crab soup, all seasoned with pepper and spices and accentuated with vegetables like the root known as cassava, sweet potato and corn. Recipes and cooking methods were passed down and defined over the centuries by an entanglement of new cultures.

While you are on your adventure through Long Island, go road trippin’! See the sites and take some bites. Journey through the tastes of the island off the beaten path.

THE DIVA’S SPOT
This little food shack spot will have you coming back for more. The Diva’s Spot, located in the northern part of Long Island in the quiet seaside settlement of McKann’s, is operated by none other than the diva herself, Tryphena Bowe-Knowles, who is also a justice of the peace. (So, if you want to get married there, you can do that too.) Diva Bowe-Knowles cooks up her daily dishes on a feeling basis and with lots of tlc. She’s famous for her conch salad, lobster salad and “Diva’s Kiss” cocktail.

Upon arriving at the Diva’s Spot, be prepared to be greeted with open arms and a joyful spirit. You’re right at home here, so pull up a chair and prepare to have your taste buds jingle. A secret menu item here is the mackerel sandwich, which is served up on one of “Mama Merlene’s” homemade bread buns. This sandwich will put all you tuna sandwich lovers out there on pause. Marinated in a citrus medley, the mackerel is combined with a blend of native hot peppers (goat pepper and bird pepper), herbs and spices, with a special whipped white sauce folded in, then garnished with lettuce, onions and tomatoes. It’s most scrumptious sandwich ever. Another famous menu item at The Diva’s Spot, when in season, is the lobster (which the locals call crawfish) salad. This is where we have to interject and say, “Move over conch

Herb sauteed lobster and salad, it’s lobster time.” This lobster roasted garlic potatoes ceviche is a sensational delight to the palate: chunks of lobster seasoned with a salt and hot pepper blend, with herbs and creamy sauce folded in and garnished with tropical fruit and veggie accents.

The famous “Diva’s Kiss” is an ice blended drink of select premium alcohol with a special fruit juice. The recipe is actually a secret, so sorry folks—this one is under wraps. You need to see and drink it to know the secret. Then you will know you have surely been kissed by a diva.

MAMA MERLENE’S HOMEMADE BREAD

Mama Merlene’s Rolls Mackerel Sandwich Tryphena Bowe holding a lobster salad

Mama Merlene has been baking bread for decades. Her special homemade bread is a must-have! There is no other way to describe it other than down-home goodness, food-for-the-soul kind of bread.

On any given day, you will find “Mama Merlene”, Merlene Dean, in the kitchen down at the Club Washington restaurant and bar, mixing bread, cutting and kneading the fluffy white dough and greasing her bread pans, all in a methodical process to create the warming delight of bread. It brings back memories of being in the kitchen with grandma as the sweet aroma of baking bread fills the air. No need to call to find out if bread is on the menu today; you can just smell it long before you reach there, from all the way around the corner.

The traditional homemade bread made throughout The Bahamas is a family’s most prized recipe. Usually, the methods of making bread are passed down from generation to generation. There is always a bread maker in the family somewhere. Just like a good old fashioned barbecue recipe, everyone says their own is the best, but the taste never fails.

When you are on your way to the northern part of Long Island, be sure to stop in and pick up a loaf of Mama Merlene’s homemade bread. Visitors and locals alike pour into this place for this homestyle goodness. Look for the homemade bread sign in McKann’s.

ON THE GO BAR AND GRILL

All roads lead south, to south end, and on your way “up south” you may run into a few wild animals. Some wild hogs are quite a possibility there, so be on the lookout. This land of the south has always been known for sheep and goat-raising and also for wild hogs. Drive far enough south, to the end, and you will see many of these animals grazing or running along the road—a sheep or wild hog crossing sign may be nearby.

Located in the settlement of Morrisville, On The Go Bar and Grill has some unique menu items that are authentic to the tastes of this region, not to mention it’s the leader in the grill-off section. You will find the best five-star grilled pork and barbecue pork on the island at this place just “south of the border”, aka in the “deep south”.

Their famous grilled wild hog is a recipe made of secret ingredients by the late husband of the woman who manages the establishment, Nicole Turnquest. The recipe has been sealed with her: tender pork grilled over an open wood fire, saturated and smoked in a secret sauce. Sound tasty? It truly is; a lick-your-fingers type of good.

One of the most raved about dishes at On The Go Bar and Grill is the mutton fried rice. Think of it as beef fried rice’s cousin, but far better—creative genius on a plate here. The next must-taste are the mutton kabobs. These two dishes were created to put a new flair on the way mutton is prepared. They made their debut at Long Island’s annual Mutton Festival, where On The Go Bar and Grill had a booth and first introduced the mutton fried rice and kabobs. The dishes were a favorite right away and people were lining up to try them. Since then, they have been a menu favorite.

Mutton Fritters Frying

PITT BULL’S FIRST AND LAST DROP
At this end of the island, a stop at Gordon’s Beach offers an authentic island feel of days gone by. “Eat at your own risk” will be the sign above the bar as you enter. Don’t worry, it’s nothing to be afraid of… Or should you be?

At this south end bar, visitors and locals usually stroll in after a day at the beach. Cooling off with an ice cold beer and a bowl of conch salad is the preferred choice around here. But then you smell that seafood and hear the hot oil bubbling as fish is fried in the tucked away kitchen. Ernest Watson, the jolly fellow who owns the place, makes you feel right at home and treats you just like your favorite uncle would.

Noticing the sign above the bar, you may joke with your buddies about it; but then comes a plate with hot fish, fried to perfection. Eat up…but at your own risk—it’s a journey to defy the odds. What odds, you may ask. The answer is barracuda, the sweet and addictive fish that has you popping those “barry” fillets into your mouth like candy. Barracuda sometimes has a poison that can make you very sick, so eating it is almost like playing Russian roulette with your food. The craziest thing is that people eat barracuda like they do fried chicken. If you happen to “get catch” with a bad barracuda, you will suffer from the poison in your system. Some victims have been known to be hospitalized, but that would never deter an avid barry eater. The locals here have a trick to “taste the blood” of the barracuda; if it passes the fisherman’s taste test, then into the frying pan it goes.

Pull up at Pit Bull’s for your last drop and remember to “eat at your own risk”.

BAHAMA MAMAS DAIQUIRIS BAR AND GRILL

If that doesn’t sound like enough, order an authentic bowl of lip-smacking crab soup or some good old fashioned crab and dough.

The drunken fritters are a must! My personal favorite is the piña colada: fried dough filled with pineapple and coconut, topped with a pineapple glaze and toasted coconut flakes and served with a spiked sauce. The shrimp and crawfish Alfredo parmesan pasta is to die for, and so is the grilled jerk chicken Alfredo. *Not to mention the PIZZAS!
The best pizzas on Long Island, the best on this side of the planet. The pizza maker is an authentic, trained pizza professional and everything is homemade. *(Edited after publication). It’s hard to choose what to order because everything is just pure deliciousness!

Long Island has no shortage of food havens that are off the beaten path, so don’t follow the routine. Follow your nose; I guarantee it will smell the right direction, and it’s only north or south on Long Island. A culinary delight is to be experienced here—enjoy it! UA

This place is truly off the beaten path as you will find the “pop-up bar” at any given event or location throughout the island. Fans follow the social media pages of Bahamas Daiquiris Bar and Grill to find their way to the next pop-up or fixed location.

Bahama Mamas blends up daiquiris in a variety of tropical flavors like mango, strawberry, piña colada, guava and lots more to choose from. Smoothies are also made with fruits and veggies, most of which are sourced locally. Fruits like bananas, coconut, mangoes and papaya are blended to perfection as a healthy alternative, but you surely can find something to put some pep in your step with a Bahama Mama signature cocktail.

Bahama Mamas always has something different to offer guests that stop by. Whether you want to have a cocktail, an appetizer, dinner, lunch or dessert, you won’t be disappointed. After you have sipped on a juicy mango daiquiri, be sure to opt for some drunken fritters, or perhaps an order of Bahamian panny cakes. Crab Soup
